looks like waninkoko chose fame over quality^^

Why do you think he didn't credit Geohot?

I installed it np after upgrading to 3.55 but I can't install any homebrew. seems like a waste.

You can install 3.41 PKGs.

Well, it's kind of expected when you expand the lv2 without considering the consequences. I'm sure for the people that had the FW install correctly, an out of bounds lv2 syscall is gonna brick your shit anyway.

Protip: Always sit back and watch for a few days before doing the latest updates for CFW.

Apparently some guy named wutangrza replicated the peek/poke for 3.55 and has his own custom firmware for it. So far all of us who are waiting out of fear of bricking, our patience might soon be rewarded.

A developer by the name of Wutangrza has released his CFW files that recreate the process that allows peeking and poking which flukes1 has shared with us earlier. Now its only a matter of time before we see modified backup managers like open manager, multiman working with this cfw.

did i say that?
besides: waninkoko wrote the fw, not geohot.

You're missing the point.
Waninkoko isn't a fame seeker like Geohot is, out of all the PS3 scene contributors, Geohot wasn't credited in Waninkoko's firmware.

Still it's bad news that all of these older PS3 models are getting bricked, really bad news.
I think this is probably one of the biggest things that Sony feared at the release of these private keys, amongst rampant piracy and unlicensed software.

What does his firmware do?

Besides the possibility of bricking what does it do since it does not do backups.

LegendarySkitch · Jan 17, 2011

Well, I'm not installing it on my PS3 right now. I have faith in Waninkoko though, he'll fix it and I can wait. He probably got rushed with people bugging him and putting fake firmware out so he rushed to release this, maybe not the best plan but it got people off his back...and bricked tons of PS3s.

darkriku2000 · Jan 17, 2011

I'll stick to geohot's 3.55 for now. I'll keep checking back though.

I'm pretty sure that everyone Sony is laughing its ass off right now, screaming "serves you right!" while pointing at their LCDs.

After all, if this isn't easily fixable, people will have to cash out for a repair centre or just buy a new PS3 (which means $$$ to Sony)

Man...
Wani isn't known for having extremely unstable installers like this...

This is sad.

idk. I think I remember his old Region Changers/Downgraders/Updaters bricked a couple of Wiis.

Hey, ThatDudeWithTheFood, You said it's working, right? Is your PS3 a 250GB Slim as well?

I want to try this so much, but it's not like I can afford another PS3 if this one bricks. PS3 cost 600 bucks around here.

If you install from OFW 3.55 it works just fine.

nightwaxon · Jan 17, 2011

It affects the older fat ps3's with a 265mb NAND. I would not update your PS3 with Wanins firmware no matter what firmware you're currently running if you've got a fat 40/60gb machine. Otherwise, you'll have the raw materials for a new rockery!

ThatDudeWithTheFood · Jan 17, 2011

All of Wanins things work if you follow the instructions I have never bricked off of any wanin things including his region changers.

From what I remember, it wasn't massive as this.
Wani is really good when it comes to releasing installers.

His "safe" updaters have done some bloody stupid things. I've never had a problem but they where aimed at noobs.

I laugh at everybody who still installs this despite all the warnings. I laugh even more at the people who brick their console and then bitch and blame the hack creator regardless of the fact that they have a disclaimer saying that if your shit breaks, they can't be held responsible.

I'm just waiting until everything is pretty much 99% stable (as there is always the chance that something could go wrong in a freak accident) before I attempt anything with my $300 PS3.

It seems I can install some homebrew but they won't load. Who has their ps3 with the cfw and a working ftp homebrew? what am I doing wrong?
